Log4j does not print to file or stdout

Question

I just downloaded Log4j and am trying to verify it. I copied the sample properties file for printing to stdout and the file here , but it does not.

Here is my code:

public class ClientTest { //static CanvasFrame canvas = new CanvasFrame("Web Cam"); static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ClientTest.class); public static void main(String [] args) { BasicConfigurator.configure(); logger.debug("HERPADERP"); Client bob = new Client("localhost", 6789); bob.startRunning(); } } 

And log4j.properties:

 # Root logger option log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout # Direct log messages to a log file log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.file.File=Log/log.log log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n # Direct log messages to stdout log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n 

The log.log file was created, but nothing is written to it ...

Can anyone determine where I am going wrong? Thanks!

Your registrar level is set to INFO. You are using debug statements. Edit

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout

to

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file, stdout
